AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 30.—UP)—
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson sent
her message to the Legislature todav
requesting the Issuance of additional
relief bonds, a moratorium on mort-
gage foreclosures and for an exten-
sion of time for the paying of auto-
mobile registration fees.
The governor did not mention!
the matter of amending the state
prohibition law to permit the im-
portation, for personal use only, of
beverages containing more than 3.2
per cent alcohol.
However, the Oovernor reserved
the right in her call convening the
-special session, to subnut subject .,
oUter than relief matters from tune
to time.
Anti-prohibitionists in the Legis-
lature planned a caucus to disci).?*
the advisability of petitioning the
Governor to open the liquor sub-
ject. 1
The Oovernor proposed that the
automobile tax payment time be ex-
tended to April 1st.
Mrs. Ferguson said that if the
three matters submitted are acted
upon promptly .there may be time
and opportunity to consider other
matters. /
Oovernor Ferguson proposed that
the Legislature permit funds of the
University of Texas, schools, high-
way department and counties to be
Invested in relief bonds. She also
proposed that bonds be issued in
denominations of fifty, one hun-
dred and any multiple of hundred
dollars. . The Governor said that
this would expedite the purchase of
the bonds.
The Governor suggested that the
legislature authorize ten million
dollar^ for additional relief bonds.

by many as Mills’ opening bid for
